Southwestern Grilled Pork Tenderloin

If you are getting tired of the same old beef and chicken recipes for the grill, try this "other white meat" for a wonderful change of pace. Adapted from a weight loss tracking website's newsletter. Preparation includes time pork will be in the refrigerator.

• Ready In: 2 hrs 30 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 lbs  pork tenderloin (2 whole) or 6  pork chops
• 4  teaspoons chili powder
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 3⁄4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1⁄8 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

1. In a small bowl mix together chili powder, oregano, cumin, and garlic powder.
2. Place tenderloins or chops on a large platter. Rub the dry mixture over the pork, cover and refrigerate for 2-24 hours.
3. Grill the pork over medium coals or this can also be broiled. Turn occasionally. Tenderloins will take approximately 25-30 minutes and pork chops will be done in approximately 10-15 minutes. A meat thermometer should read 155-160 degrees and there should also be a hint of pink in the center.
